Chapter 47 The Old Ancestor

The carriage of the princess of Qian Wangfu.

Hongmei opened the curtain and came in, the car immediately filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Xia Jing leaned on the couch, sniffed her nose, and furrowed her brows tightly, "This medicine has little effect, why are you still suffering?"

"Princess, there is always a process for your ulcer to heal. Let's take your time and don't worry. If you are in a hurry, you might get angry again. How can this ulcer be cured?" Hongmei showed a helpless look. There are medicines that can see immediate results after taking it.

Hearing this, Xia Jing was slightly taken aback. Could it be that she has a problem with her mentality and is impatient?
Hongmei coaxed patiently: "Princess, come and drink the medicine."

Xia Jing glanced at the dark concoction worriedly, picked it up resignedly, and gulped it dry.With that bold gesture, those who didn't know it thought it was a bowl of wine.

Hongmei took the empty bowl and hurriedly handed over the tea for gargling.

Xia Jing rinsed her mouth, only to feel the bitterness in her mouth lessened, and exhaled, "When you got ulcers, how many days did you recover?"

Hongmei pursed her lips and smiled: "I have never had ulcers since I was a child, but it took five or six days for my mother to recover from ulcers when I was young, so, princess, please be patient, don't worry!"

Xia Jing sighed, "It's nice to be young!"

She also misses her once young body, which was full of vitality. How could this body be so poor in a different environment, only a few years older?
"The tent outside has been set up, are you going there now?"

Xia Jing got up and got off the couch, "How's the situation over there? I haven't heard any noise."

From the temporary rest of the team to the order to set up camp, she thought that King Qian was tortured by Li Chengxian, so she turned around and went back with a group of guards.

Sure enough, her guess was right, as soon as she finished speaking, Hongmei said: "The prince has agreed to the princess's request, of course she can't make trouble anymore, and the people from the Changping Hou Mansion have already returned to their team gone."

"Humph!"

Xia Jing snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "The old man Changpinghou is also a cunning guy, but his life experience has restricted his development, otherwise, he is also a person who can soar into the sky if you give him a little wind."

In case of trouble, let the woman rush to the front, and he hides behind to reap the benefits, hmph, how shameless!
It's no wonder that Li Chengxian's personality hasn't changed at all in the past [-] years since she was married to Changpinghou's mansion. Maybe there is Changpinghou's intentional or unintentional connivance here!

Indulging a pampered and domineering daughter-in-law, and even encouraging her to go back to her natal family to make trouble when encountering troubles, let King Qian have a headache as to whether the trouble is successful.

After getting out of the carriage, she glanced at the sun hanging on the mountainside in the west. It was too late for a lunch break and too early for dinner. Xia Jing turned her head and told Hongmei: "Go and find Xiao Wu."

This kid might be reading a book again in a tent or a carriage. Now that the world is in a panic, I don't know how this kid can calm down and read a book. Can he read it?

While Hongmei was looking for Xiao Wu, Xia Jing noticed a group of children playing in the open space not far away, and hearing their laughter, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

Maybe it was because her gaze was on them for too long, the older child noticed Xia Jing standing there.

The older child didn't know what to say to the other children. After a while, the children all looked over.

Xia Jing smiled and waved to them as a greeting.

Unexpectedly, when the children saw this, they all ran towards her immediately.

"Old ancestor, grandson brought his younger siblings, nephews and nieces to greet you."

"Hello old ancestor!" The children behind all bowed and saluted.

The older child at the front, whom Xia Jing knew, was Li Mingtong, the eldest grandson of Dafang. He was a child of the Ming generation of the Li family, and could be regarded as Xia Jing's—well, the eldest great-grandson.

As for the nephews and nieces he mentioned, of course they are not the children of the palace, but the children of the clan. Based on their seniority, they should be Xia Jing's great-great-grandsons.

They were right to call her Grandpa.

"Get up, children, I see you are having a good time, tell the ancestors, what are you playing?"

A five-year-old boy standing in front puffed out his chest and replied, "If we go back to our ancestors, we are playing Cuju. Do you want to come and play with us? It's fun!"

"Yo, you know how to seduce me." Xia Jing bent down and pinched his little face, teasing him: "The old ancestor is old and can't run away from you, how can he play with you?"

Hearing this, the little boy furrowed his delicate eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, you are the elder, we can run slower and let you go."

"Haha." Xia Jing gasped with laughter, this kid also knows how to be humble and respectful.

She rubbed his head, "I know your name, isn't it Li Mingchun?"

"The ancestor remembers my name!" Li Mingchun was surprised.

Xia Jing nodded amusedly: "Yeah."

The original owner didn't like excitement, so he directly avoided greetings from the grandchildren, so even though he lived in the same mansion, the palace occupied a very large area, and he didn't have the chance to meet the children a few times a year.

The pitiful few times, after all, they have met each other, and the faces of the children are still a bit of an impression in their minds, so that there will be no situation where they don't know each other.

Seeing Xia Jing nodding her head, Li Mingchun's clear eyes were filled with joy.

A child's pure smile is very healing, it can make people let go of all defenses and brighten their mood.

Xia Jing looked down and found that the child's robe was covered with a lot of dust, so she knelt down and patted him, "You play with dust all over, are you afraid of being scolded by your mother when you go back?"

Li Mingtong laughed and said: "My brother is such a young child, it is inevitable that his clothes get dirty, and my fourth aunt will not scold him. At worst, I will explain to my fourth aunt when I send him back."

Xia Jing rubbed his head and praised him: "That's right, as an older brother, you know how to protect your younger brother. You are a good boy with responsibility, and when you grow up, you will become a man of indomitable spirit!"

"Old Ancestor, is what you said true?" Li Mingtong stared at Xia Jing with his bright black eyes, as if he was very concerned about whether he was responsible.

Xia Jing tapped his forehead lightly with a broken smile, "Really, I can lie to you little brat!"

"Mother Concubine, what did you lie to the child?" Li Chengmu heard the last sentence just as he walked over.

"Uncle Five!"

"Fifth Grandpa!"

"Good boy." Li Chengmu touched the little heads of the children and asked with a smile, "They are all good children!"

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and asked Xia Jing: "Concubine Mu, what did you lie to them?"

Xia Jing rolled his eyes at him, "Why should I lie to them? If I want to lie to you, I will lie to you."

"Is there anything worth lying to me about?"

"I lied to you to come and exercise!" Xia Jing pointed at the camp with a cool smile: "It's not too early or too late, it's just for exercise, so you should run five laps around the camp first."

"Five laps?!"

Li Chengmu looked at Xia Jing in shock, and wailed, "Mother, do you know how big the camp of thousands of people is? Just let me run, are you sure your son can still breathe after I run?"

"Sure, hurry up, if you are too lonely to run alone, you can go and call your brothers and nephews to run together."

"Brother?" Li Chengmu frowned and thought about this possibility, then quickly shook his head: "Forget it, big brother, if I call him, he will definitely scold me for being inappropriate!"
